If someone cares to post the article there is one of the finest paragraphs of hypocrisy you could ever hope to read. Think sandwiches and living large off the Penns and pointing fingers.

While on the topic of ZtH's pen(n)manship, I was surprised that no one commented on his sly shot last Saturday about how genuine Manly fans appreciate what Dropmough did for the club and he had earnt the right to say whatever he wanted when he left! Personally I was disappointed that he didn't use 'true' supporters instead of 'genuine'.

DYLAN Walker is one desperate jersey grab from making everyone aware he is Manly’s long-term five-eighth outside Daly Cherry-Evans.

In the Sea Eagles’ past three games, Walker has shown he is improving every week in the No.6 jersey.

A vital grab from behind by Beau Scott prevented a 50m Walker try under the posts against Parramatta and a Sam Burgess replica in the game against Souths had the same result.

Walker is ready to explode and, if he overcomes a troublesome rib injury in time, then Monday’s game against Newcastle could be the confidence booster the youngster needs.

Critics calling for Walker to swap positions with skipper Jamie Lyon are way off. It simply won’t happen because coach Trent Barrett is more than happy with the way Walker is handling his new role.

DAWN SERVICE

Other Stories

SEA EAGLES hard men Nate Myles and Brenton Lawrence will be up early on Monday to attend the dawn Anzac Day service at Nobby’s Beach in Newcastle.

The two front rowers have close family ties with the armed services through relatives and attend the service, which is the biggest in the Hunter Region, every year.

They will be joined at the service by head coach Trent Barrett and assistant coaches John Cartwright and Anthony Siebold.

PENN’S MIGHTIER

THE silence is deafening from the know-alls who for years have promoted and pushed the blatant mis-truth that the Penn family, owners of the Sea Eagles, wanted to move the side away from Brookvale Oval.

The recent news that funding is available to start stage one of the Brookvale Oval makeover is a massive salute to the perseverance of the chairman Scott Penn, Sea Eagles chief executive Joe Kelly and chief financial officer Neil Bare.

They got away from the unsuccessful efforts of the past 20 years and changed tack to heavily involve powerbrokers at federal and state levels of politics.

They dealt directly with them and their advisers on the best way to secure vital funding.

Local MPs and Liberal party heavyweights Tony Abbott and Mike Baird were key players with both having an unbridled passion for the district and the Sea Eagles.

They are genuine supporters of the club.

Both know and live first-hand with what the team means to the northern beaches.

The Penn family have copped plenty of unwarranted criticised from the spreading of the blatant lie they were looking at taking the team away from Brookvale Oval.

The small pocket of rebels are now reduced to having no real support in issues surrounding the Sea Eagles.

Indeed, several were seen on the Brookie Hill in last week’s game against Parramatta.

It was a big difference from their days living the high life in the corporate boxes – at the expense of the owners.

CHANCE TO BOUNCE BACK

Monday’s Anzac Day game against Newcastle is vital for the Sea Eagles to square the ledger with a four-win four-loss two-month start to the season.

In light of the massive number of short turnarounds, that would be a comfortable start from Trent Barrett and his side.

It would also be a great lift for yet another short turnaround game against Johnathan Thurston and the high-flying Cowboys a week from tonight.

It looms as one of the games of the season when the teams square off under lights at Brookvale Oval.

That game will give a clear indication of where the Sea Eagles are heading in 2016.

Despite Peter's claim, I suspect the long term plan is for Walker to move to the centre when Lyon calls it a day. Otherwise why grab 18 year old Wright and make serious overtures to Bird and other 5/8s. This stint as 5/8 wont hurt Walker though. It will improve his skill base and making him an even better centre. But this year I cant see him moving from 5/8

The stupid thing is, he's trying to have a shot about the people who once used the corporate box, are now on the hill. That just shows to me how much those people still love and support the club to show up and be on the hill with the supporters. Good on them.

That idiot Zth has been using corporate boxes and free seats for decades. I bet he wouldn't "lower" himself to be on the hill with the punters like ourselves.

Joker was the one being quoted as moving from Brookie or is Ritchie making up these lies

The Leagues Club Members are still waiting on the explanation of how their real estate was offloaded for multi millions in profit to the Penns
ZtH was on the Board when it was sold at below market value to a related party . Now that would be an expose we would love to read
